how it all feels lately

So good at feeling not so good at expressing

By the time Tumblr approves this Blaze, we'll have less than 24 hours to make this campaign happen! If the campaign ends without reaching the goal, we receive nothing. And the beautiful high quality art in the demo that's attached to this post? The story and its ambitious twists we have in mind? It won't happen. Literally cannot happen without the funding to back it!

So if you are someone who wants to see how Xjena escapes her newest Dream loop (loosely a time loop) in this dark political mystery where gender politics undergoes a dramatic escalation from the original game (which is free in the link!), then please consider backing. We're grateful for the reblogging, but if the world is satisfied leaving it at simply sharing, the 24 hours will end in an unsuccessful campaign. That's just the reality of it. Reasons to back the campaign!

Are you becoming what you've always hated?

rolling snake eyes is a bad thing. being a snake in the grass is a bad thing. being cold-blooded is a bad thing. the english language is so fucking hostile for snakes why do you hate us so bad

NOT TO MENTION snake oil salesmen are famously sketchy. why do you hate our oils

really funny character concept i will definitely be using some day: oil salesman who is a snake. introduced as a snake oil salesman

he's a painfully honest and sincere oil salesman. he's not selling miracle cures he's telling you exactly what it is. and what it is, is oil. he's got olive oil coconut oil corn oil. every kind of oil you can think of

need more sapphic vampires in media. need more sapphic vampires in media. need more sapphic vampires in media. need more sapphic vampires in media. need more sapphic vampires in media.

we can help with that we’ve got 70+ queer vampire books in the queer liberation library

PSA: stuttering in fics

as someone with a speech impediment, all of the people saying that only one type of stuttering is valid are wrong.

stuttering CAN look like this: "t-this is a-an example s-s-sentence"

OR this: "this-this is an example sen-sentence."

OR this: "t-t-t-th-..t-ttttthis is an example sentence."

OR this: "this is, uhm, an example, uh, sentence."

OR this: "this is an example sssssss-sentence."

OR this: "this is an examp-...this an example sentence."

sometimes the sentence won't even come out of your mouth at all.

there are probably many examples i'm forgetting, but that's the point! it usually is a mix of a few of these, but some people do one of them more often than others! some people with speech impediments have certain sounds that they almost consistently have trouble with (for me it's "st").

people with speech impediments also rarely-if ever-stutter whilst they're singing or whispering.

most importantly!!!! people with speech impediments are capable of saying a sentence without stuttering!! it can just be a gamble sometimes.

and if more people could portray the frustration that comes with stuttering and not being able to get words out, i'd be a very happy girl.

(fun fact: sometimes when my mouth won't let me say what i want to say, i get so annoyed that i just yell or grumble out "WORDS.")

this was your speech impediment PSA!!!!
